Real Americans Are Ready To Snap

"Despite popular belief, every culture of every nation draws a line in the sand against government tyranny. The problem is, many draw this line so close to total defeat that it rarely matters....
I believe the same feeling hangs in the air of modern America for REAL Americans, and by “real”, I mean those who actually support and defend the constitutional values and principles that lay at the foundation of our society. We sense that something is coming; a great change, or an unstoppable reckoning."

By firing first on Ft. Sumter, the Confederacy lost the high ground and later, when they needed to be recognized by the European states for trade purposes to finance the war, they were left in the lurch.
The American taxpayers have been asked to give enough, sacrifice enough, share enough, do without enough. We are ready to defends our rights.
No outcome of the next election will advance the cause of freedom, assuming that either Republicans or Democrats (or any party bought and paid for by banksters and corporate looters) retain control. The system is thoroughly corrupted and voting will change nothing for the better.
Obama is not the problem. It doesn't matter which corrupt party holds the oval office.
The bottom line is people can safely be enslaved by doing nothing but what they are told or they can take the risk to be free. Resistance must be very well organized and compartmentalized to succeed.
To me, that is where change needs to start: the media. When the truth gets exposed to the American people, they generally stand for Constitutional principles.
(There are also good people who are GOP and Dems, but they have no power.)
Now for the important question: will the DHS goons (based from some other geographical area in U.S., sent TDY to a city near you) really shoot their fellow Americans?
I bet they will.
'I think they've pissed off too many people, instead of just enough people. I think that though most pretend-Americans will do nothing but watch in horror or hide in their hovels, the size of resistance to the tides of despotism is growing far beyond common realizations. And, when this resistance erupts, it will shock even those who fully expect it.'

Think I will post that link as a separate topic, too.
p.s. watch out about pets' eyes!!!
She projected collapse, not overthrow.
I think it's an interesting speculation but ultimately, I think she would have written AS the same way. The collapse is essential to the illustration of many philosophical points. Revolution, in and of itself, may not be a good thing. the founding of the US was based solidly on natural rights against a tyrannical monarchy. Our government today is a combination of the tyranny of majority and completely lawless government. It does not apply any laws to itself. The law has become a tool it uses to manipulate its citizens.
She never treated the subject of internal revolution. She did list four criteria that would justify a war of *external liberation*:
1. Executions without trial.
2. Detentions without charges.
3. Restrictions on ex-migration.
4. Censorship.
Any country that practiced all four of these things would in her written view be ripe for an invasion for purpose of liberation.
But an internal revolution? That's easier to justify, so long as the real end is more liberty, not less.
Paraphrasing Ben Franklin, they must all hang together, or they would most assuredly hang separately.
Perhaps we need a truly revolutionary strategy - not your typical revolution - but perhaps something akin to what SPECTRE would have done in the James Bond movies. Get the two warring sides to beat each other up to the point where neither has the strength to take us on. The hard part about that is staying covert for long enough to pull it off.
If their mail is running heavily against something and/or contributors are calling mostly on one side and saying they're following the vote, they won't go against the mail and contributors.
What I see are lying politicians only interested in their own power doing nothing they promise to get elected, and voting in favor of more dictatorial laws and regulations, and ignoring their oaths to defend the constitution. They have been doing the same things for all of my adult life. I wouldn't even consider giving them any of my production as a bribe; they already steal at gunpoint 99% more than they are worth. One example: People I know have worked to get one senator elected based on specific promises to accomplish a certain thing once elected. Afterward the senator said "I looked into that and it's fine as it is." No further discussion or explanation. What was the issue? The Federal Reserve Bank.
I think lobbying to allow HSAs to continue under PPACA is why we still have HSAs today.
That's really bad in the case where they blatantly break their promises.
My worst negative experience is when we donated from someone and as a hail mary he bought some mud-slinging adds just after the fundraiser.
Part of the reason for going to political fundraisers is to say hi to various people I might otherwise not touch base with. Lobbying is a secondary benefit. I reject the whole left/right struggle that politicians use to get elected, so I prefer non-partisan humanitarian events to political ones.
Nothing has been accomplished to expand individual liberty in the US using those methods for govt change in nearly 50 years. (Unless you are talking about TBTF bankers or corporate looters who pervert the definition of the words "individual liberty.")
Sure, somebody returned your wallet intact, but it wasn't one of the elite or their political puppets.
Let widespread violence break out, justified or not, and let the government war against its people and this will no longer be the United State of America no matter who wins. That is, provided our enemies don't seize on the opportunity to claim some fertile land for themselves. Far fetched? So was the rise of totalitarianism in America at one time.
ALSO, we need a non of these option on every ballot for every office. The parties will be less likely the resurrect their decrepit standard bearers if they'd have to repeat (and sink ridiculous money into) a process only to lose to "none of these" several times.
You can't limit campaign contribution or spending without limiting free speech. O had many small un-reportable donations.
Let no man take away.
If anyone remembers the classic movie "Three Days Of The Condor", the villain has a lovely short speech right at the end. It is the mantra of "for the public good" looters in any age.
